　　Each word and each sentence always expressed the meaning of, "Master, this does not involve this servant, this servant has always been guarding outside the door, and does not know anything!"

　　Listening to the words of Fu Gui, Master Fu’s expression was getting more and more ugly. Second Young Master Fu's mother's crying became more and more happy. Gu Bai followed suit and in his heart he laughed more and more evilly. He already long knew that this dog-like servant would pull a fast one, but luckily this grandfather (referring to GB) already made preparations.

　　He waited until the Master slammed his hand on the table and bellowed, “How dare you disgrace have the impertinence to set up and harm my son!”

　　Gu Bai sucked in a breath of air and forced his face to pale by a few shades. His face exposed an expression as if he wanted to cry, and only then did he start to ashamedly explain.

　　“Master, how would Yunxi dare to disrespect the Second Young Master? In any case, Yunxi bears the scholarly honor of one who has pa.s.sed the imperial exam, if you only rely on the account of one lowly servant to determine Yunxi's fault, is it not too arbitrary? Kingdom Chu has a law, where an official must determine whether a scholar has committed a crime or not. If you condemn me here, will you not still have to go through an authority? Master, please also listen to my explanation…”

　　When he heard these words, Master Fu paused, what Gu Bai said made sense. Kingdom Chu really did have such a law.

　　Ordinarily, Gu Bai was shut indoors and didn't speak much, adding onto his appearance of being easy to bully, only after he said it did everyone remember he was a scholar. Thus, in Kingdom Chu, even if a scholar was guilty, they still had to deliver them to an official to make the decision. He was also not allowed to be punished in private.

　　Today, the scandal of her son's chrysanthemum bursting, how could they just deliver it to an official and make it public? The anger in Master Fu's heart was smothered, with him using great effort in order to repress his rage, his s.h.i.+ning gaze staring tensely at Gu Bai when he spoke.

　　“Then you tell us, what the h.e.l.l happened today? You and Tianci drank wine together, why did you go missing midway, and Tianci just suddenly run over to another private room!”

　　Seeing Master Fu suppressing his anger, Gu Bai's heart was somewhat determined.

　　It seems that his thoughts were correct. The original host really encountered this kind of misery. Following his birth, he was unable to shed his origins. Tthis was the ancient times, where ident.i.ty and status were very important, and the difference in treatment of each social cla.s.s very distinct.

　　Thinking of this, Gu Bai looked up and spoke.

　　“Today Second Young Master did invite Yunxi to go to Li Huayuan to drink wine and make friends. Yunxi did not dare to disobey. But after we went, the Second Young Master was fully aware that once Yunxi drank wine, then I would get a red rash, one that won't disappear or reduce if not given one or two months. But he still forced me to drink. Yunxi was afraid that it will affect this time's preliminary imperial examination, so could only endure disgrace and pour wine for the Second Young Master and wait on the young masters to apologize, but who knew that, who knew…”
